Councilman Says City Craves Better Food Vendor Rules

By Raphael Pope-Sussman

New York needs to get off its tush and clean up the process for permitting and regulating food vendors City Council Member Mark Levine writes in an op-ed in the Daily News.

...As Levine points out in his op-ed laying out the case for the law, these vendors aren't inspected by the health department, meaning unsuspecting New Yorkers who eat at them are not protected by any of its regulations. (Although we've all probably eaten delicious food from unlicensed vendors and not gotten sick.)
